The first episode I wasn’t completely sold, like I didn’t really know where all this was leading, or what the show was even going to be. 2nd ep got me hooked, though. I guess the party conversation question is: Would you been keen to join them, in that situation? It is on some level...

For the record, I love the class. Thief was always my favourite choice when I started playing DnD in 2nd edition. But, there are games like Nobilis where you play as a God, for example. Now, you could choose to be a god of thievery, or mischief and trickery, like Loki. But, at that point we’re...

Yeah, you’re right. The more I looked into the games I was thinking about, things like, Tales from the Loop even has a ‘Troublemaker’ I still wouldn’t say all games need them, but ‘scoundrel’ is a common archetype for hero/anti-heroes, for sure.

Given the amount of TTRPG's that don't have thieves, I'd say we don't need them. Even DnD relegated thieves to a sub-class.

Out of interest, I looked up what makes 'sailor' the best background for a Monk. Getting a re-roll on 1's for unarmed strike damage is pretty cool. I think this will be the basis for my character, the next chance I get to play. I really dig the idea of a monk that can hit harder than the other...

Both elements are crucial to the plot as well.

I saw Badlands at the movies earlier in the week. I can’t even express how much I enjoyed this film. 🔥

Really enjoyed the film when seeing it at the cinema and then again, rewatching it a week later on Netflix. I read (or maybe saw in a review, I can’t remember) that GDT has wanted to make this film since the 90’s Not surprising, given things like Shape of Water and Hellboy that he’d be...

Just a thought about a couple of things mentioned: Pushing a button rather than roleplaying, and feeling more like a video game. Both of these feel like an issue with virtual table tops, more than 5E rules. My group doesn’t use VTT, we just zoom in and play like we would at a table. It means we...

I’m currently playing a Druid/Barbarian (path of the beast). My character tries to control his temper for the most part, only going into a rage after being hit, or if he’s actually made mad through roleplay. At lower levels I liked the idea that he was trying to wildshape, but hasn’t quite...

I’ve been a fan of Tiefling art from 2E onwards. 5E is no exception, love this piece for example,,.

I guess I don't understand why it's so absurd to have a line in your backstory about spending time on a boat? -I grew up on a boat until it sank and I was rescued by some monks in a fishing boat. -I grew up in a monastery that did missionary work in Chult which meant spending years on a boat...

Has that happened? Feels like we communicate through text now more than before.

I think the general idea is that the most ‘fitting’ background shouldn’t give the highest bonus, else that would be the only thing we’d ever see in play. It’s to reward those that spend some time to build a character rather than go with the most obvious choice.

I agree that floating ASI’s were popular with everyone I knew offline. Yeah, I was reluctant to bring up the Halfling thing out of fear of it starting up again. My bad.

Umm… that wasn’t the case on these forums. I seem to remember a lot of complaints. Like there were threads that went for 100s of pages at the thought that someone could play a halfling with 18 strength. Personally I had always added the +1, +2 where I wanted and will continue to do so.

It's only an issue if you think the most default option should give the highest bonus.

That makes sense. A character I'm playing in a BECMI game atm is loosely based on the singer from the chats. Also: 'Smoko' is a better song than 'Pub Feed' ;)
